Answer to Question 1

Judicial activism is the philosophy of using one's powers as a judge to do more than interpret the Constitution or laws by avoiding precedent and handing down decisions with sweeping implications for the future. A judicially active judge favors judge-made law and looks more to the future than the past.

Often activism decisions have broad implications and may have sweeping and general language. Kyllo v. United States is an example of judicial activism.

Answer to Question 2

callous-unemotional

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
